The virtual disk is indeed configured as SCSI. The problem is that the Linux install wants me to provide a SCSI contrioller driver. I have been through the default options offered by the install and cannot see anything relavant. I have tried choosing various SCSIdrivers that the install offers but this does not work.

The VMware website does not offer a solution or a virtual driver either.

In short i have to provide a SCSI driver for the install to see my virtual hard drive.

I believe this is a feature of the new versioni of Red Hat Enterprise. The Earlier version installed fine on the same platform.

Any advice regarding this would be much appreciated.

(I just started playing with Linux so i apologise for my poor linux knowledege.)

That is correct, however, within the Linux install program i do not have the option to select such a driver.

My research found an artical ( http://www.itweek.co.uk/products/software/1161217) that quoted the following ..."although we needed to configure ESX Server to present a virtual LSI SCSI chip to the Red Hat software because RHEL 4 does not automatically install drivers for ESX's default BusLogic SCSI interface."

Does this mean i will have to create a driver?? I am notr entirely sure what this means.

I have configured the VMware config to see a LSI SCSI, but i get the same problem where the Hard drive is not recognised. Red Hat Enterprise 3 does not have this problem.
